Life and Choices

Its sad to see that new born babies are pampered with choices right from their childhood leading to an unintended growth of personalisation and individualisation. It also has the side-effect of person developing certain likes/dislikes and ending up being fussy when his favorites ( food, dresses, colors !!!) are not available. This also makes him sad and I think this is totally unwarranted since this sadness is entirely a manifestation of his likes/dislikes. Nothing prevents you from accepting things as they are.

Ultimately, we should not forget that we get what we deserve !!!

Although it soundz pretty rude and ruthless, you dont deserve to be choosy when you are ordinary.. Choices are meant for the extraodinary folks.

So earn your right to be choosy.. !!!

Calvin Coolidge on Persistence.. Cool Stuff...

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will
not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius
will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the
world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination
alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will
solve the problems of the human race.


Keep Walking.. There are miles to go before you deserve to sleep... !!!!

A Wonderful speech of Abe Lincoln worth reading N times !!!

My son will have to learn, I know, that all men are not just, all men
are not true. But teach him also that for every scoundrel there is a hero; that for every selfish politician, there is a dedicated leader.
Teach him that for every enemy there is a friend.
It will take time, I know; but teach him if you can, that a dollar earned is of far more value than five found.
Teach him to learn to lose and also to enjoy winning, steer him away from envy, if you can.
Teach him the secret of quiet laughter. Let him learn early that bullies are easiest to lick.
Teach him, if you can, the wonder of books but also give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun and flowers on a green hillside.
In school, teach him it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat.
Teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone tells him they are wrong.
Teach him to be gentle with gentle people and tough with the tough.
Try to give my son the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone is getting on the bandwagon.
Teach him to listen to all men; but teach him also to filter all he hears on a screen of truth and take only the good that comes through.
Teach him, if you can, how to laugh when he is sad.

Teach him there is no shame in tears. Teach him to scoff at cynics and to be beware of too much sweetness.
Teach him to sell his brawn and brain to the highest bidders, but never to put a price on his heart and soul.
Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob and to stand and fight if he thinks he's right.
Treat him gently; but do not cuddle him, because only the test of fire makes fine steel.
Let him have the courage to be impatient, let him have the patience to be brave. Teach him always to have sublime faith in humankind.

This is a big order, but see what you can do. He is such a fine little fellow my son!"
